Every single Democratic senator that votes to cave on this should be immediately ejected from the party, and the national party should immediately start running primary candidates in their districts.
There is no bipartisanship possible with traitors and fascists. You either fight, or die.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

it's inherent in the idea of popular front against fascism that it has room for trans people, racial and religious minorities, socialists, etc. the biggest obstacle to building such a front right now is the fraction of dems who are insistent that various minorities simply have to eat shit to win
